At Pearce Williams Summer Camp & Retreat Facility, our aim is to provide the best summer camp experience for your child. Pearce Williams strives to do this in a non-competitive, caring way, allowing your child to discover the world around them, while promoting success, self-confidence and self-esteem in a safe, secure and stimulating environment, while living and growing within our Christian community.

The emphasis is always on participation, effort and attitude! We feel that camp is a unique place where every child can be a winner. We provide campers with the opportunity to become part of a family, where they can take healthy risks, get rewarded for successes and develop self-esteem and life skills. In the meantime they will learn about independence, interdependence, tolerance, responsibility, friendship and loyalty.

It is at summer camp that they learn to take risks, learn to resolve conflicts in a natural manner, learn to appreciate and protect our environment, learn to stay healthy, learn to be responsible for their personal belongings, and learn to have fun with unabashed enthusiasm.

Tier System Explained

Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, Pearce Williams Christian Centre offers a voluntary three-tier payment program. You may choose the tier that is most suitable for your family.

The Tier System allows us to continue to offer our our amazing summer camp programs while letting everyone know the true cost of camp.

A week at Pearce Williams costs around $500 when all costs are taken into account. This is below the average amount for other camps across Ontario.

Based on the above information you may choose the tier that is most suitable for your family.

Tier I is very close to the true cost of providing our amazing summer camp experience for your child.

Tier II is our partially subsidized fee for those who can pay a little less but still can not afford the actual cost of camp.

Tier III is the historically subsidized rate for camp. This subsidized rate does not cover the cost of running summer camp, but allows for families in need to still access our summer camp programs.

This program is voluntary and in no way influences the experience children receive, yet it offers the opportunity for families to take an active roll in supporting the true cost of their child’s camp experience. Only the office staff know what tier that you have selected and that information is used only for billing purposes.

If you cannot afford the cost of Tier III, please email or call (519-764-2317) for a scholarship application. Scholarship applications are due by March 4 2019.
